This system controls modulation parameters and the assigned slots of TDMA frame according not only to the propagation path conditions, but also to the feature of transmitted medium, say realtime traffic or non-realtime traffic, quality of service (QoS) and required bit rate. For this purpose, the proposed system measures the received carrier-to-noise plus interference power ratio (C/(N+I)) of each TDMA slot, and selects the optimum modulation parameters and the assigned slots by using the suitable channel assignment algorithm for each medium. Computer simulation confirms that the proposed M-AMDCA system can achieve very high performances for each medium under voice, video and data co-existence conditions.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

In order to use the network resources preciously, we consider sharing the available spectrum effectively between these tiers. We investigate two models, called System I and System II. In System I, CDMA access methods are employed in both layers. In System II, TDMA is deployed for users in the microcell tier and CDMA for macrocell users. The results of numerical calculations are presented. The impact of interference caused by different distances among the related cells is assessed. It is shown that the capacity of the above systems is decreased as the distance of related cells becomes closer. The characteristics showing that System I is better than System II in terms of user capacity, can be recognized for various values of cell distances.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

In this paper, we present a WATM architecture that adopts the latter approach. We briefly present several problems that emerge during the integration of wireless networking and B-ISDN ATM technologies. We discuss the design of a mobility management & control protocol (MMC).

To put adaptive array antennas to practical use, the multipath signal propagation characteristics, such as the time delay and arrival direction, must be clarified. This can be accomplished via the antenna design and by developing an adaptive algorithm. The author has already proposed methods for measuring complex delay profiles with a virtual planar array. This involved scanning a linear array antenna and estimating the time delays and arrival directions of multipath signals by a two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform. This time, the author applied MUSIC algorithm to the virtual planar array to precisely estimate the arrival directions of multipath signals. In this paper, the performance and features of the MUSIC algorithm in estimating the arrival directions of multipath signals via computer simulation are clarified.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

As this paper reveals, the conventional VD/VS scheme has difficulty in sustaining satisfactory ABR performance, when it is applied to long-delay-causing WATM; it suffers from significant increase in the necessary buffer capacity. To ensure the ABR performance in WATM, this paper proposes a new VD/VS coupling scheme using a feed-forward congestion indication. The proposed scheme controls the allowed cell rate of a source end system in a feed-forward manner by predicting the queue length at the time the WATM-associated-round-trip ahead. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme exhibits excellent ABR performance with a long delay of the divided loop on the radio link side. It is also verified that the proposed scheme is rather robust against uncertainty and/or time-variation regarding the predetermined radio link delay.","PeriodicalId":341069,"journal":{"name":"ICUPC '98.

Ideal adaptive structures for estimating the filters involved in the MLSE are then compared. Next, a suboptimal implementation of the resulting receiver is proposed: it consists of a spatio-temporal filter for CCI rejection followed by a Viterbi equalizer for ISI processing.
